Northeast Industry Body Praises Budget
The Federation of Industry and Commerce of North Eastern Region (FINER) said the Union Budget is good and not just for votes.
They think it helps small businesses and builds roads in smaller cities.
It also helps tourism.
They said the budget was made thinking about big problems like the war between Russia and Ukraine.
They will check the details and talk to the government if anything is missing for their region.
FINER described the Union Budget as balanced and fiscally disciplined, not populist.
The budget was drafted considering geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine war and US tariff hikes.
Push for MSMEs and infrastructure development in tier 3 and 4 cities will benefit the Northeast.
The Buddhist circuit announcement is expected to boost the tourism sector in the region.
FINER will review the budget details and address any shortcomings with the government.
